9 Huge Video Games You Forgot Were Coming In 2019
7. Luigi's Mansion 3
Release date: TBA 2019
As with the year already gone, Nintendo continues to gorge itself on the critical acclaim lavished on the likes of Octopath Traveler and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but it needs to make sure it leaves room for more - 2019 is already shaping up to be another home run for the Switch.
Further adventures for Pokémon and Mario fans are on the cards for the next 12 months, but it's the latter's brother who's being awarded the most tantalizing of sequels. At long last, Luigi continues his ghostbusting escapades on console next year, no doubt on the premise that he's 'won' another supposedly idyllic mansion that turns out to be infested with ghoulies, but the plot details matter not.
The series' handheld detour in 2013 expanded upon the GameCube original with a slew of dusty mansions ripe for vacuum-powered exorcism, and that was on vastly inferior hardware. Bringing the series to Switch for its third outing gives Nintendo the processing power necessary to construct a city-sized playspace for Luigi to cautiously explore nozzle-first, remedying the only real weakness of the original.
